What started off quietly and tense devolved into an action piece that did not seem to fit the first third of the story.
Although beautifully realized with the emotional repercussions of volunteering to work on a one-way mission to advance science and humanity. The battle sequence could have been edited out and the story would still have worked.
The story is centered on the death of a fellow old-timer scientist of Tombaugh Station, one of the first to land on Pluto. There is something strange about the death, too many things went wrong all at once.
Nothing grabs me more than a mystery in space.
Too bad the author tried to make it two kinds of stories at once.
It did not work for me.
